Succession to the Jordanian throne

It consists of the line of people who are eligible to succeed to the throne of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

Thus, only male descendants of Abdullah I of Jordan, born to Muslim parents, can ascend the throne.

If the king dies without a son or appointed brother, the throne devolves upon the person whom the National Assembly selects from amongst the descendants of Hussein bin Ali, King of Hejaz, the founder of the Arab Revolt.

[1] Shortly after his marriage to Queen Noor, King Hussein instructed his brother to appoint Prince Ali (Hussein's eldest son from his marriage to Queen Alia) as his heir apparent.

Besides his own sons, Hussein seriously regarded his nephew, Prince Talal bin Muhammad, as his possible heir.
